Concerns on EGAFD practices of name-changing
Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2025 12:48 pm
A couple of weeks ago I provided a name that had been on Indexxx.com and TED accepted my motion for ID.
That's when I saw that the URL's do not persist onto the changed name.
I kind of understand that XNK unknowns' URL's will be dropped when we find a name to the person, but even in that case, it's troublesome to find which XNK morphed into a named actress.
There should be or should have been some redirect option for these cases because people who have the wrong names on drive will have a hard time adjusting to the new names.
BTW, IAFD has recently(?) created a hash link for all performers and old links don't work (not even the Match Up functionality, which is also dropped by Google SEO), but I expect those hashes now to be perpetual.
Maybe EGAFD should observe some similar naming convention so that links persist on name changes and when unknowns become known performers.
